Recovery Of MH17 Black Box Caught On Tape: Separatists To Hand Over To International Delegation

With the rabbit hole of conspiracies getting deeper by the hour, video has emerged showing what appears to be the "black box" flight data recorder from Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 being taken from the crash scene. As NBC reports, the men in the video are wearing Ukrainian Emergency Ministry uniforms, but a senior Ukrainian official told a news conference Sunday that rebels had taken the black boxes. This fits with reports from The Hill that pro-Russian separatists have located the black boxes for the downed Malaysia Airlines passenger jet and will hand them over to international authorities, according to separatist leader Alexander Borodai. With the US having offered more "proof" that Russia was involved, perhaps some facts from the Black Box will help clarify details in this dreadful situation... though we are not confident.

As NBC reports - recorded on Friday, the footage shows rescue workers carrying the distinctive bright orange device through a wheat field in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region. The voice of a man who is not shown in the video can be heard saying "flight recorder" in Russian.

As Star Tribune reports,

Rebels have recovered the black boxes from downed Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 and will hand them over to the International Civil Aviation Organization, a rebel leader said Sunday.

 

Alexander Borodai also said the bodies recovered from the crash site in eastern Ukraine would remain in refrigerated train cars at a station in the rebel-held town of Torez, 15 kilometers (9 miles) away, until the arrival of an international aviation delegation.

Can’t imagine it will show much about hat lead up to impact.

If I understand correctly, the Russian missile as traveling at Mach.

Putin's idiots are probably going to try to sell the recorders on the internet or maybe for scrap.

Meanwhile, where has Putin been lately? The coward has gone underground and no one can find him. What a puke.

Can’t imagine it will show much about hat lead up to impact.

Might provide clues as to whether the plane was downed via direct hit or proximity detonation and the approximate location.

Business Insider observes...

For the first time in a long time, maybe even since Putin’s first election to power, the Russian regime has a problem it cannot solve, one that will cost the Kremlin in both money and reputation.

....

Evidence is mounting not only that the BUK that killed MH17 came from Russia, but that the firing on the airliner was either supervised or ordered, or even operated, by Russian personnel.

.....

Panic in Moscow is hard to spot, but even from 6000 miles away, it’s easy to smell, and the metallic stink of fear is rising off the palace offices of the Russian executive as if from the gurneys in a cancer ward on the morning of an operation.

The only question, really, is how far Putin wants to go toward a trade war, economic collapse, further status as a pariah, maybe even open war, only in order to save face. The conventional wisdom is that he has to cut the insurgency loose.

Maybe. But if he doesn’t want to, he may settle for leaving a grinding conflict in place for now, in which he will claim that any real investigation and closure is impossible. He can then place his hopes in the West’s short attention span, and wait until all this blows over.

This is the 12th black box that the rebels have claimed that they found — only this one is orange — their first orange one.

[Uncle Chip]

Earlier the myth that Putin’s plane was the real target of the missile was propagated by the Putinistas even they know full well that SAMs are equipped with a technology that recognizes Russian planes, military and commercial, and avoids them.

Rebels have recovered the black boxes from downed Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 and will hand them over to the International Civil Aviation Organization, a rebel leader said Sunday.

The ICAO -- the same organization that had listed the flight path over Donetsk to be a safe fly zone.

[Revel]

If there was anything worth editing then Russia would have the technology to do it. You can bet that they want to at least have a peak and see before they turn the boxes over.

[Eagles6]

I don’t know if he cares. Europe needs his gas and oil. The US is irrelevant...

[hubel458]

I wonder what a certain young European guy and his

famous russian live in girlfriend think about 300

people dying in that plane shootdown???????????

[SunkenCiv]

Yeah, and the box is completely undoctored, I’m sure. Why else would it take a week to find?
